Precious baby

Oh neat, the Highline School District races are tipping more progressive! Alvarez and Espinoza are now winning their races and Van is now only 231 votes behind Kresly

I don't like: when she makes biscuits in my flesh (ouch) I adore: when she makes biscuits in the air. She's also been doing this thing where she'll come up and sit at my feet and look up at me and make little biscuits on the floor, which is approximately the cutest thing in the world

I’ve said this many times but it’s worth repeating: When it comes to voting, we have an Election Day deadline. When it comes to election results, we have an Election Week. The more media sets this expectation, the less confusion and more trust we’ll have in our great vote by mail system. #waelex

Baby might've missed me

Hurried home from Portland to make sure I had enough time to fill out and turn in my ballot. Hopefully we can flip Burien away from all the NIMBY bullshit that's been prevailing

"A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif" I remember in my teens, there was a week or so where I was really into The Terminal. I don't remember why and I don't remember the movie that well.

Another Kumoricon in the bag. It's so special to go back and staff at my original con.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

It annoys me very much that hitting the comment count under a post takes me to write a reply, rather than see the replies.

Also, The Frog

Portland is just so much cooler than Seattle, lol. I'm very much a thrift store shopper and there's SO many thrift, resale, consignment, and vintage stores in Portland. I'm currently on Hawthorne in the SE 30's cross streets and there's 2-3 awesome stores every block.

Dipping into the #LloydCenter on the way back to @orycon.bsky.social It's fun to see all the new little shops mixed in with mall staples from my childhood (my bedroom was decked out in items from the clearance section of Things From Afar, lol)

Also, on "Thursday Murder Club" movie and "Only Murders in the Building"... is the Black lady cop working with amateur detectives a new trope, or an extension of old tropes? I guess it's meant to highlight how the establishment (represented by white boys club cops) doesn't listen or care, but...

#spoiler Thoughts about the end of the Thursday Murder Club movie on Netflix, which was otherwise a fun movie, the ending was, to me, unsatisfying. Why the heck would the crime boss agree? What was the point of his threats, was he trying to get caught? Also, the killers fates...

Historically, at conventions, I've been too busy volunteering or gaming, and haven't gone to a lot of panels. I've been trying to have better boundaries about volunteering and have been going to panels... I'm starting to think it's a 50/50 chance on whether a sci-fi panel winds up being about AI.

Sometimes Flake needs to put his paw on a person. I like to put my hand under it so we hold hands

It's possible she's actually *too* cute

Google maps seems to be unsure what a post office is

A sad, scene, spotted while driving: a bouquet of flowers, run over in the passenger side of a middle lane coming out of an intersection. An apology not accepted? A get well soon gift abandoned after reading an update text? A drop of joy accidentally dropped while jamming by an open window?

Everyone is eligible in WA! “The state health agency said people can bring a printed copy of the order to their vaccine appointment at, say, a pharmacy, if they’re worried they could be denied the shot. If they still cannot get vaccinated, they can file a complaint against the provider” The order:

Just finished Hild by Nicola Griffith and I'm extremely confused by why the fuck the ending. I assumed Nicola was making up a narratively satisfying explanation for a fucked up historical fact or at least rumor, but then the author's note at the end reveals that that entire plot line was made up???

Gig economy app, Taskrabbit, just announced that it will require Taskers to change their profile names to match their legal name. I sent feedback talking about how confusing and damaging it would be to require Taskers to set their profile to be a name that they don't use and they responded with

Wound up going to World Con, it's been fun! Got to see Martha Wells and Becky Chambers both talk about their books that I tend to rave about. :3

Anyone know anywhere in the Seattle area that buys used dishwashers to repair or part out. Ours needs a part that's ~$280. It seems like all the parts are $100s so it seems like *someone* should have a business of flipping them.

Spicy. We've gotten so many mailers about Obras v. Schilling. I'm already not impressed with Schilling as my mayor. I'm also not impressed by them both arguing that they love cops more than the other guy.

I made some arts for stickers and emojis for Nranchs games' discord server

We were too sparing with our apple thinning :'( It broke sometime between when I came in late last night and this morning, hopefully we caught it fast and got it seated well.

Kitten tucked her face into my hand. Left it there for probably a solid minute

I have now completed (Knights of) Wind and Truth

Last 10% of WAT liveskeeting continued: lol so many call backs to past zingers

WAT vague posting: "No, I'm his therapist."🧍🏽

This is approximately the vibe for me youtu.be/vBORiDWOzZI?... You can have your binary gender, just don't expect it to have hold over me.

Wind and Truth Vague posting: "Unoathed, arm up!" 😭💖Squeeeeee

Carrying on with my Wind and Truth climax vague posting: "Sir!" 💓💓💓💓💓 (Adolin vs Abadai) ((Forgive any misspellings, I'm a devout Vorin man😆))

What the Actual Fuck, Brandon Sanderson? (I have just reached the battle of champions, day 10, Wind and Truth). I feel like my greatest weakness as a D&D DM is that I just can't conceive of evil enough to make a good bbeg. Brando Sando apparently does not have that problem. Twisted shit.

Cats sleeping with their little paw over their little eyes always gets me. Too cute.

Seattlites! Today's the last day to make the big vote for housing! Yes to fund the program that was already est'd, and 1A to actually fund it (rather than 1B that partially funds it by taking funding away from existing housing programs) Burieners! Today's last day to vote for min wage increase!

Look how big these bananas are! Bananas for scale.

What kind of snail is this?

@eisreachd.bsky.social eis is also the German word for ice and wasn't there some reference about you being a frost giant?

Someone set the president's pronouns to they/them?

In other news: there's a really annoying pimple on my chin :(

Hurrah! Did a thing today!

Bittercress season has begun. Time to snack on some weeds

It's not mullet time! (Got tired of hair touching my neck/back)

Reminder: when you see someone saying something kinda ignorantly contemplative about queerness, it might be them grappling with their identity. This was me, trying to break out of my egg. I set the privacy to "only me" after the comments got pretty heated and I didn't know enough to address them.
